Edgar Wright is directing the adaption of Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic book series "Scott Pilgrim," which will blend the use of live action and hand drawn animation.
"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" stars Michael Cera ("Superbad"), who is Scott Pilgrim, a man who wishes to win the heart of Ramona V. Flowers (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, "Live Free or Die Hard"). To do so, he must defeat her evil ex-boyfriends, of which there are seven.
Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns"), who plays one of the evil ex-boyfriends, Todd Ingram, spoke to Collider about the upcoming film and its blend of real people and animation.
"Anyway, while we all knew the movie would be live action, Brandon let it slip that parts of the movie will feature some hand drawn animation!
While he didn’t say where the animation would be in the movie, I’d imagine it’d be when Michael Cera’s character is fighting the boyfriends. But that’s just my guess. Brandon also said that the script finishes the comic…which could mean the script includes what happens in book 6. For those that don’t know, book 5 just came out."
FirstShowing.net assumes that the animation will play a part when Pilgrim must fight the ex-boyfriends.
"In the comic, whenever Scott Pilgrim battles one of the evil exes (there are seven in total) in order to eventually win the heart of Ramona V. Flowers, the fight plays out like a 'boss battle' reminiscent of any video game. Now imagine seeing that adapted to the big screen in a cool combination of hand drawn animation and live-action Michael Cera ass-kicking."

So this can be a totally visual spectale that will appeal to the fanbase of the comic series, but the main question is how will the general audience enjoy it? Hopefully they will as the comic is great and the movie sounds too good to be true.
Let me see a trailer for it first.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
